Chapter 1081: Silencing (6)
Ye Hongguang collapsed on his back, his wheelchair overturned, and he lay sprawled on the ground, gradually soaking the floor with blood. He struggled to crawl to the door and call for help, but how easy was that? The door, so close at hand, now seemed like a road with no end in sight, so long and hopeless.
When Tieyi and his companions first arrived at Ye's residence, they did not see Ye Mei's whereabouts. They thought that Ye Mei had escaped in such a short time. However, when they checked the study, they were shocked to find Ye Hongguang lying in a pool of blood, dying. They did not know whether he was dead or alive.
Cong Yang asked: "What's going on? What should we do?"
Mo Qing came out of another room and said, "The Ye Mei siblings are planning to escape from the mansion. Brother Tieyi is good at Qinggong, so you can follow them."
Tieyi said yes, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
When Mo Qing's eyes fell on Ye Hongguang lying on the ground, he was also startled and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know?" Cong Yang scratched his head, squatted beside Ye Hongguang, and sniffed his breath. "He's still breathing, but I don't know if he can be saved."
"It looks like someone's plotting against us." Mo Qing said, "Hurry up and make some noise to lure them over."
"Come on." Congyang clapped his hands. "The servants in this mansion are already busy with their own affairs, so how can they have time to take care of this young master? Haven't you heard that a phoenix without feathers is worse than a chicken? Besides, the lady of this mansion doesn't like him very much. Seeing him like this, she can't wait to applaud him, so how can she possibly hire a doctor for him?"
"Then take him back." Mo Qing walked over to Ye Hongguang and picked him up. Ye Hongguang was frail, so wrapping him up was effortless. Mo Qing said, "Madam has a special regard for this boy. If we leave him to die, it would be bad. I think Madam would make the same choice if she were here. Let's take him back to Master Gao first. Whether he can be saved or not depends on his fate."
Cong Yang shrugged: "I'll do as you say."
But then I heard the young man suddenly open his eyes and squeeze out a few words with difficulty.
"Mei...stole...something...ran away..."
"What does he mean by this?" Cong Yang wondered.
Ye Hongguang tilted his head again and could not wake up no matter how much he was called.
"I don't understand. Let's go quickly and wait for the servants to come." Mo Qing said. The two of them did not dare to delay and did not stay here for long. They left quickly.
Shen Miao was sitting in the room waiting for news. Emperor Yongle's actions were so fast that many things had to be advanced. Planning was one thing, but seeing whether the plan would succeed was another.
However, Tieyi and the others had been gone for so long that she felt heavy-hearted, wondering if Ye Mei had already escaped.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Jingzhe happily say: "They are back, they are back!"
Shen Miao stood up, only to hear Gu Yu’s surprised voice outside the door: “What’s going on?”
"Please ask Doctor Gao to come over." This was Mo Qing's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and Mo Qing and Cong Yang walked in. Mo Qing was holding someone in his arms. When he got into the room, he placed the person on the couch. Shen Miao took a closer look, but was stunned. She said in a lost voice, "Ye Hongguang!"
"When I went there, I found him lying in the study. It seemed that he had been assassinated. The assassin should be someone from the mansion. Ye Mei and his sister were planning to escape. Tieyi had followed them and left signals along the way. I will rush over soon. I have already sent someone to invite Master Gao." Mo Qing explained.
“Who in the Ye Mansion has such a deep hatred for a child?” Shen Miao felt very sad and a little angry when she saw Ye Hongguang’s face, which was 90% similar to Fu Ming’s, now in this state: “He is so cruel to a child.”
"Maybe it was Ye Mei who did it?" Cong Yang said.
Shen Miao frowned: “What do you mean by that?”
"The child woke up once during the conversation and said a few words: 'Mei stole something and ran away.'" Mo Qing said, "I suspect she meant to say that Ye Mei stole something and ran away. Perhaps she was caught stealing by Ye Hongguang, so she killed him to silence him."
"But what exactly was stolen?" Cong Yang asked, "Gold, silver, and jewelry? She would take advantage of a child just for these things. Tsk tsk, this woman is truly cruel."
"No." Shen Miao said suddenly.
The two were stunned and asked at the same time: "What's wrong?"
"No, this isn't right." A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Miao's mind. Without time to consider, she immediately said, "Congyang, immediately follow the signal left by Tieyi. If you see Li Meiru leaving Longye, whether by land or water, don't stop her. Instead, delay them. Make them go slower, even slower."
"Don't stop them?" Cong Yang was stunned.
"Yes, I won't stop you." Shen Miao said. She glanced at Ye Hongguang on the couch again, replaced Jingzhe Guyu, and told Gao Yang to come over and cooperate with him immediately.
Finally, she said to Mo Qing, "Mo Qing, come with me to the study."
Although everyone was puzzled, seeing her serious expression, they did not dare to refute her and just followed her.
Shen Miao’s eyes were as cold as a knife.
Madam Mei stole something and ran away?
What did he steal? Where did he run to?
Shen Miao almost understood her plan, so she came to see her off.
